Explore Anamoose, North Dakota, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Anamoose, North Dakota. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of North Dakota or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Anamoose.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Anamoose exists as a quiet anchor upon the vast, open plains of North Dakota, where the horizon stretches into a pale, endless reach of sky. It lies 54.4 miles east-southeast of Minot, ND (from Minot, ND: bearing 116°T), and is situated 35.5 miles south-southwest of Rugby. The terrain is defined by the steady, unyielding flatness of the prairie, save for the subtle depression of Steele Lake, which reflects the shifting hues of the clouds like a burnished mirror. To the northwest, the distant silhouette of Hogback Ridge marks the limit of the view, while the Mchenry County Waterfowl Production Area provides a sanctuary of tall grasses and seasonal wetlands just a few miles away. The air here carries a sharp, clean clarity, particularly at dusk when the light turns a bruised violet and the silence of the flatlands feels heavy and absolute.
Anamoose emerged from the expansion of the railroad, serving as a vital point for the grain trade that continues to define the local economy. Farmers cultivate the surrounding soil with a focus on wheat and sunflowers, their machinery moving in slow, rhythmic patterns across fields that seem to tilt toward the distant, winding path of the Wintering River. A few miles away, the landscape dips toward the quiet expanse of Antelope Valley, a reminder of the geological history written in the soil. Life in Anamoose moves with the seasonal cycle of harvest and winter dormancy, maintaining a modest, deliberate pace that honors the tenacity of those who settled this high, wind-swept country.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
